Forced occupation of private property with unlimited people with unlimited equipment against the will of the property owner has never been permitted in the State of Florida.
If the BCC wants to purchase more property for public beaches like the property across from Stinky's then so be it. Just don't steal it from legally deeded owners and try to convince people that the BCC has always controlled the property rights in Walton County (specifically the right of exclusion).
Never in the history of Walton County (prior to 2016) did an ordinance not recognized private property. This is about chasing billions of tourists dollars not throwing a Frisbee on the beach.
